We, the Building the Bridge Foundation, The Hague, dedicate our work to all the children in the Region, all Israelis, all Palestinians.
Too many are now imprisoned.
Too many are being emotionally, mentally, and spiritually molested.
Too many kids are killed, kidnapped, or beaten.
Our future generation should be in school, not foregoing their optimism, innocence, and youth in tyrannical and exploitive military jails.
Some slap a soldier in the face. Others throw stones. Many are in jail for no reason at all, other than they fit the profile, not necessarily the crime; or, their brother or sister might just have been picked up.
If the baseball pitcher in Yankee Stadium throws a stone, it is lethal. But kids?
Israeli Journalist Larry Derfner reports that 99 percent of the time, stones thrown by kids land on other stones, on the street, or against a building.
If, in the most unlikely event, a stone strikes a soldier, rest assured the soldier wears riot gear, protected with a helmet and a bulletproof vest.
Nonetheless, the reprisals are 1,000 Eyes for 1 Eye.
On the other side are children who do not know better. They follow in the footsteps of their role models. They, too, are traumatized for life.
We dedicate our work to all children, the future of our planet, especially those presently in anguish, separated from their parents, because of a regime that knows no better.
They fix blame rather than fix problems.
Isn’t it time to unbridle our moral imagination?
Our hearts are with all the children, everywhere.
Our children are God’s gems, more precious than stone.

A Theo-geopolitical eye-opener expounded with conviction, common sense, and compassion. With 500+ references, ‘Christian Zionism … Enraptured Around a Golden Calf’ pits the Holy Trinity of Zionism – One Tribe, One Land, One God – against the Holy Trinity of Christianity – ALL people, ALL nations, indeed, glorifying the one ‘I Am’ with many names.
